Have you written other cutters? Splitters? It would be cool to read some narrations of your writing processes. I know you painstakingly study poets of interest to you and you are post-cutting-edge in technique. Your language patterns are fascinating. Sometimes they are wound tightly with energy moving in different directions, word echoes. This one seems different, more distant, softer perhaps, less imagery, a touch of resignation from a constant argument with absurdity. See? This is what your work does in my brain

For a couple of years I was getting considerable number of variformed brain dumps that mingle-mangled with language -- which I took full advantage of.

working through what I call cutters was very helpful for expanding usage on extensivity of metaphor as well as counterflow.

I have tended to do different things with cutters depending upon what was given to me...
